On August 14, 2025, the President signed two bills into law aimed at improving services and support for veterans.
S. 423, known as the “Protecting Regular Order for Veterans Act of 2025” or the “PRO Veterans Act of 2025,” introduces several new requirements for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The law mandates that the Secretary of Veterans Affairs provide quarterly briefings on any budgetary shortfalls. It also places restrictions on incentives for critical skills to certain VA Senior Executive Service employees and establishes a Veterans Experience Office.
S. 201, called the “ACES Act of 2025,” directs the VA to work with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to study and report on cancer prevalence and mortality among veterans who served as aircrew members in fixed-wing aircraft.
